Dear All...
The Inaugural Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Lecture:
Make me a molecule
By Professor Sue Gibson, Imperial College London
Thursday 27 November at 6.30pm
The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG (nearest tube: Piccadilly Circus or Charing Cross)
Molecules come in a wide range of shapes and sizes and exhibit an equally wide range of properties. Knowing this, who wouldnąt want to make molecules and determine their properties? And who wouldnąt want to change the molecule a little bit and see what effect it has on its properties? Does removing this group of atoms from molecule A make it a more effective contraceptive? Does adding that group of atoms to molecule B make it a better catalyst?
In her lecture Sue Gibson will host a tour of the molecular world and provide an insight into why and how molecules are made and modified. She will draw on examples from her research teamąs work over the last few years to introduce molecules with quite different shapes, sizes and functions. She will use these examples to introduce some key design concepts and several important molecular building techniques, and to discuss the importance of continuing to develop underlying theory in the pursuit of ever more efficient chemistry.
Admission is FREE - no ticket or advance booking required
